Abstract: | Both the (R)- and (S)-5'-hydroxy 5'-phosphonate derivatives of cytidine and cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) have been prepared via phosphite addition or a Lewis acid mediated hydrophosphonylation of appropriately protected 5'-nucleoside aldehydes. Phosphite addition to a cytosine aldehyde protected as the 2',3'-acetonide gave predominately the 5'R isomer, while phosphite addition to the corresponding 2',3'-bis TBS derivative favored the 5'S stereochemistry. In contrast, phosphite addition to the 2',3'-bis TBS protected aldehyde derived from ara-C gave only the 5'R adduct. However, TiCl(4)-mediated hydrophosphonylation of the same ara-C aldehyde favored the 5'S stereoisomer by a 2:1 ratio. Once all four of the diastereomers were in hand, the stereochemistry of these compounds could be assigned based on their spectral data or that obtained from their O-methyl mandelate derivatives. After hydrolysis of the phosphonate esters and various protecting groups, the four alpha-hydroxy phosphonic acids were tested for their ability to serve as substrates for the enzyme nucleoside monophosphate kinase and for their toxicity to K562 cells. |
